This can't even be possible until January, no? I've only been an Everton fan (and soccer/football fan in general) for about 6 years in all honesty but I'm starting to feel the same kind of self-loathing and resentment towards everything that it seems only extremely seasoned fans are capable of feeling. The media will even make up horseshit that's not possible in order to squash us.

Barca can sign players, they just can't play until January (Turan and Vidal they've signed this summer...)

Against us .

yeah, on his debut if I remember rightly, first game of the season?

anyway, the point really is you can tell any story with stats. Ricky Van Wolfswinkel had a goal to game ratio better than 1 in 2 in Holland, and he scored 1 goal in TOTAL in the Premier League. So, he might be Suarez, he might be RVW, he might even be Alfonso Alves. Time will tell...

That's not his figures though is it. He has scored 18 in 71 Suaraz scored 10 in 27 so no not really.

Hence why I said based on last season's figures as quoted by SteveO (above). Also it's then based on season vs. season which is a more equal sample for comparison.

Really, it says on hos wiki 10 in 27 then he moved to Europe

Yes, really.

27/10 = 2.7 games per goal

23/9 = 2.55 games per goal

Suarez had a goal per game ratio of 1 every 2.7 games in Uruguay (according to Wiki)

This guy had one every 2.55 last season (based on what SteveO said.

I present those as stats based on what everyone's said here, and nothing else

Heard Tim Vickery (South American football expert) on TalkSport saying he doesn't think defenders from the Argentinian league can adapt well to the prem, that he isn't fast enough, strong enough or intelligent enough. I hope hes wrong.

Tim Vickery is one of the most knowledgeable football correspondents out there. Really hope he's wrong, cos it sounds increasingly like this fella will be announced by the weekend.

I can't find anything online about Austin missing any amount of time with knee injuries. Is this a known thing? He had a hamstring injury and a bruised foot that kept him out of a few matches but that's all I see.

I've been told he's one bad tackle away from a wrecked knee - apparently it's a known thing (I hadn't heard it before tbh)

Shame, cos he would be a decent fit for our squad.

Martinez moaning about the window being open in August???? Yet admits we need 3 more players?????

 

This man is not making too much sense at the moment.

reading between the lines, wasn't he really saying that if Chelsea really want Stones, they should match his valuation and give us enough time to find a replacement? And that it should all be done before the season starts, cos it's disruptive to the player, the manager, the team, the fans....

Hard to disagree with that really!

last time i put this up. Just pay the 6 quid every 2 months through paypal and get HD streaming

totally agree - this site is brilliant, consistent streams every week, never been sure about paying for stream, but it's well worth it!

was Drenthe released on a free? if so, isn't there a different deadline for frees?

This could be one of the worst deadline days ever, Becks, Yak and Arteta out, a no mark Argentine and over the hill dutchman in...oh great!

he's 24!

Breaking News. Royston Drenthe will sign for Everton (AS)

from facebook

One sneaked through the gap - a transfer so low key it seems nobody cared at all! Joao Silva has moved on loan to Uniao Desportiva de Leiria. This is from the OS which has posted a round-up of the transfer window. Belatedly, the OS has confirmed we've signed Apostolos Vellios.

And nobody knows why .

 

We'd need a hot breaking rumour to break it again.

 

We should start one .

it was cup draw time wasn't it?

here's a proper one then

Agard to Killie

yeah apologies, realise that's not transfer-related, but there's nothing else happening so we may as well have a giggle at the jug-eared tw@

“No. Look, it might come up, but if you are asking me have I got anything, I am saying no. I couldn't even say I am trying.”

 

So he said "no" but not NO!!!

 

ah cheers for that - i only saw a tweet some guardian journo made, so i presumed that was that!! makes the next few hours at least a bit more interesting then!!

didn't Moyes answer "no" when asked if we're signing anyone after the Chelsea game?

was about to say the same thing. aside from maybe Rodwell, I can't see anyone leaving for megabucks? also, i don't get why it's a Guardian exclusive, surely we'd hear at least a peep

it's not administration, it's a BIG transfer. which means it's not to do with us.

anyone reckon we actually could go down? if we defend this poorly we could....awful.

much much better 45 mins needed!
